Liberty Church Senior Pastors

Liberty Church is Bible-based and Spirit-filled. We are refreshingly honest and bold about our faith as well as our humanity. We are a people that are passionate about our love for God and His people. Our aim is to encourage growth in your personal relationship with Jesus and with one another as you are a vital part of God's family.

Many of you may come from churches and traditions that focus on a man, a denomination, a building, a teaching, money or rules and not Jesus Christ. Some of you may be new believers who have never set foot in a church. Some of you may just be searching for peace of mind in these tumultuous times in which we live. Whatever the reasons are that brought you to our web site, our prayer is that for you, Liberty Church will truly be "an oasis of hope and love in a world of darkness and hurt." Our Campus Pastors and staff are here to serve you.

We are grateful that God has shown us continued favor and given us a bright future. Our desire is that many people would feel that “This Is Home”, for them. A home where God is doing a new thing among His people. A home where families worship together. A home where children fall in love with Jesus. A home where senior Christians mentor the next generation in a greater way. A home for the hurting and hopeless. A home to the broken. A home for the prodigals to return to.

As we move into our campaign to raise $350,000 for our building expansion, we ask that you partner with us in prayer. Below is a 5 week prayer guide that you can follow each day.

WEEK 1

See The Potential

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
